what is up with the neck on the guitar?

[Hyperion1205]

@terryfrancisfrench Just like everyone else has said, it's called fanned frets. There's another video where Andy speaks about it, and explains that on a normal guitar, I believe he says on about the 11th and 12th frets, it's actually like it's out of tune. This is caused by the lengths of the strings, and the fanned frets, along with the angled bridge help correct it.

[Hyperion1205]

Oh, it's actually between the 7th and 9th frets, sorry.

Breakin out new jokes!

Is it me or his new guitar isn't 'straight' like the other ones? :0

If you're talking about his guitar's neck, then it was tilted and at an angle at the night of the show.
